Important: This is an illustrative estimate, not a quote or savings guarantee. Part-time is modeled at 20 hours/week and full-time at 40 hours/week so the U.S. comparison uses the same hours. Salary benchmarks are national planning defaults, and actual costs vary by role, seniority, location, benefits, taxes, working arrangement, and engagement scope.
Transparent methodology
What is included in this estimate?
Each role starts with a national U.S. wage benchmark derived from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics May 2025 Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics. The calculator converts that salary into an hourly equivalent using 2,080 working hours per year and applies it to the same hours as the selected Outland.Work engagement.
Outland.Work pricing mirrors the active pricing tiers in our Supabase pricing table: starter plans at 10 hours/month for $250 and 20 hours/month for $500; part-time from $1,500/month down to $1,200/month with longer commitments; and full-time from $2,500/month down to $2,250/month. The calculator annualizes the selected monthly rate for comparison and shows the actual contract commitment separately.
The benchmark is only a starting assumption: salary, overhead, recruiting cost, team size, engagement level, and commitment are editable. Precise dollar inputs are calculated in your browser and are not sent to PostHog, GA4, or portfolio analytics.

How much can companies save hiring LATAM talent?
There is no responsible single answer. Savings depend on the role, seniority, hours, benefits, engagement model, and the U.S. benchmark a company actually faces. The calculator therefore separates first-year savings—which can include a one-time U.S. recruiting cost—from ongoing annual savings after that one-time cost drops out. Geographic access can change cost structures, but the decision should still prioritize capability, communication, and role fit—not simply the lowest price.
